When it comes to school supplies,
There's one thing we can't disguise,
The joy of having brand new stationery,
Pencils, pens, and paper aplenty.

Sometimes, though, we get annoyed,
When we can't find what we enjoyed,
But then we remember to appreciate,
The little things that make us great.

And when we need a helping hand,
We can visit a donation center, oh so grand,
Relieved to find what we need,
To keep learning at full speed.

And here's a tip that's good to know,
Wherever in life we may go,
We can always lend a hand,
And make the world a better land.

Reflections

1. What was the difficult situation that the young woman found herself in?
2. How did the strangers help the young woman?
3. What did the young woman learn from this experience?
4. Have you ever had to rely on the kindness of strangers? How did it make you feel?
5. Why is it important to be kind to others, especially those who might be in need?
